Loading Through The Serial Or Parallel Port
240
To load the file through the LPT2 port on the computer, enter the following command:
filename.exe -pb2
<Enter>
NOTE: On a printer with a PSA3 controller board, when you power up in download mode (step 11) the printer is ready to
accept data from all ports. When the printer receives data from one of the ports (based on the load command you give)
the other ports shut down.
ATTENTION
Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started. Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory
on the controller board.
16. While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the load process and status. (See Table 6, which
follows.)
17. When the file has successfully loaded into memory and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off).
18. Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.
19. Power off the personal computer.
20. If you had to install a parallel data cable to the computer and printer in step 7, disconnect it from the computer and printer.
21. Reconnect the customer’s data input cable(s) to the printer, if required.
22. Return the printer to normal operation (page 314).
23. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 3, reconfigure the printer. (Refer to the
User’s Manual.)
NOTE: A continuous IML cycle indicates coax/twinax code is being loaded into a printer with a missing, defective, or
improperly installed Coax/Twinax board. If the printer is supposed to have this feature, reseat the Coax/Twinax board.
If the printer is not supposed to have this feature, install new emulation code without the Coax/Twinax feature.
